Poured into a Dogfish Spiegelau glass. No readable freshness date.
A- Pours a medium amber color with a 1/2 inch off-white head that retains well before becoming a thin ring around the edge of the glass and a mostly full sheet of surface foam. Web-like lacing trickles down the glass.
S- Sweet malt aroma smells like fresh wort which pleases me. The hops are light and decidedly earthy.
T- Bitterness comes through immediately along with more earthy hops and the aforementioned sweet malt translated to flavor. The bitterness holds on just long enough to remain fully enjoyable. Easy to drink as the alcohol is very well hidden.
M- Slightly sharp from the hops with medium carbonation and a body leaning toward the lighter side.
O- I think this is a great IPA. I feel like the reason it has such a low score is because a lot of people taste the residual sweetness from the unfermented sugars and automatically deduct points because it's perceived as a flaw. I personally enjoy that residual sweetness and think that the one-two punch from that and the hops makes for a delicious drink. To each their own.

On tap at the brewery's biergarten in downtown Greensboro NC.
Appearance. This has a clear golden body topped by a very good white head that leaves plentiful lacing on the sides of the glass.
This IPA, while more than moderately bitter, has a fine mix of flavors and aroma from the hops. Fruity, floral, piney and herbal notes are all present.

If I am not mistaking this one for another beer, i've had this at Grasshopper games before. First time I had one, I saw the color and wondered if I had screwed up in ordering it. Fortunately, the beer was excellent and I ordered a few more.
